Abstract (en)
Apparatus for the seriatim separation and feeding of garment parts from a shingled stack of the parts to a predetermined destination has a movable hold down assembly (16) for engaging the trailing edge of the second part in the stack and a picker mechanism (20) for engaging ths leading edge of the first part in the shingled stack and removing it from the stack. A microprocessor determines the location of the trailing edge of the second part in the stack and moves the hold down assembly (16) into position to engage the trailing edge of the second part in the stack, using input signals from optical sensors (24) and supplying an output signal to control a motor (30) driving a carriage plate (46) of the hold down assembly (16). Following separation, the separated part is transferred to a second location at which picker mechanism (20) releases the transferred part.
